Text Configurations (IQ/SQL Anywhere)

Text configuration objects are supported for IQ (v15.2 and higher) and SQL Anywhere (v12 and higher) to control the creation of text indexes. PowerDesigner models text configurations as extended objects with a stereotype of <<TextConfiguration>>.

Text configurations contain a set of configuration settings that control the characteristics of text index data such as what terms to ignore, and the minimum and maximum length of terms to include in the index. Once you have created a text configuration, you can select it to control a text index on the Sybase tab of your text index property sheet (see Text Indexes).

Creating a Text Configuration

You can create a text configuration in any of the following ways:

Select Model > Text Configurations to access the List of Text Configurations, and click the Add a Row tool.
Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select New > Text Configuration.

Text Configuration Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a text configuration property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Text Configurations folder.
